Today, integrated solutions for safe, economical and ecofriendly passenger and freight transportation are our hallmark. With our Complete mobility approach, we’re linking transportation systems to move people and goods more efficiently. Even where a variety of systems already exist, they’re rarely incorporated into a comprehensive structure. Building on our wide array of transportation and infrastructure technologies, we’re now also providing solutions that network various systems. This approach will be the key to mastering tomorrow’s mobility challenges while minimizing environmental impact.

London offers a striking example of how an intelligent mobility solution can work. Initially, the city substantially increased the number and frequency of modern commuter trains and optimally integrated regional rail traffic into the local mass transit system. In a second stage, a congestion charge scheme was introduced for the city center. Our involvement in the project included supplying the cameras and infrastructure equipment for monitoring traffic and collecting fees. The system is cutting CO₂ emissions in the English metropolis by around 150,000 tons a year and reducing traffic volumes by 15 percent, or some 60,000 cars a day. It’s estimated that 50 to 60 percent of all car commuters have switched to public transportation, substantially reducing harmful emissions as well as noise levels.

We’re solidly positioned for the future: the demand for intelligent transportation solutions is steadily growing, and we boast a more comprehensive cross-industry portfolio than any of our competitors worldwide. Following the Company’s recent reorganization, we now combine solutions for rail systems and intelligent traffic management systems under one roof.
